A New Apostolic Constitution

But a necessary one? Or one that reinforces the centraliztion of power in the bishop of Rome? The text. Press release.






A critique by Hilary White for The Remnant.

The document makes the claim that contemplatives are mainly made up of women, but is this true of the East as well, which does not have religious orders? I think male monks in the East would disagree with the claim.

In the write-up on Zenit(?) that I glanced at while at the airport, something was written almost akin to the claim that women are naturally more "spiritual." Now, it may be that women are more "quiet" than men, who are more energetic, but is this the case mentally/psychologically as well?

Is Pope Francis proving Fr. Gabriel correct about the papacy and trends in Latin monastic reform?
